Why Most Farm Websites Miss the Point

If you’ve ever stared at your website and wondered, “Is this even working?”—you’re not alone.

A lot of websites (even the nice-looking ones) fall flat.

They show your story, share some photos, list your products… but don’t lead people anywhere.

And that’s the issue.

A website isn’t just something to “have.”

It’s a tool to guide your customers toward action. Buy. Book. Sign up. Reach out.

That’s what your site should be doing—every time.

Want to See What That Actually Looks Like?

I've put together a full demo of the kind of site I build through Homegrown Hosting.

Whether you're doing it yourself or already have a site, take a quick walk-through. You might pick up some ideas for:

  • Where to place buttons that get clicked
  • How to stack sections so people keep reading
  • What turns a homepage into a customer journey

Think of it like a house. Most websites are built with a bunch of doors, but no direction.

This one? Every door leads to the kitchen—because that’s where the good stuff is.

When your site has a clear path, people don’t get lost.

They join your list. They buy your products. They actually follow through.

If you're building your own site, I hope this sparks a few ideas.
And if you’re curious what a site like this would look like for your farm or business, I’d be happy to send you a quote.


I’ll follow up with a few short emails to help you decide if it’s a fit—no pressure, and you can opt out any time.

I talk about websites so much because they work.

They’re your 24/7 farm stand—always on, always available.

And in a world full of options and tech tools, the best thing we can do as small farms is make it simple for customers to get what we offer.

That’s what a good website does.

Thanks for reading and talk soon!

with my appreciation,
